Congrats to both Ron Artest and Lamar Odom for winning the Citizenship Award and the 6th Man of the Year Award respectively. Both great guys and nothing less than deserved for these 2 players from the back to back World Champions Los Angeles Lakers.

Now lets go add a third title so GOAT can leave on a note he richly deserves.

I honestly thought that Jamal Crawford would win the 6th Man - after all, it's based on contributions and consistency, not just talent

But kudos to Ron Artest. He's probably my favorite Laker. I know he does a lot to promote mental health issues

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the one who started this thread is someone who benefitted from Ron Artest's mental health whatever?

No boston celtic has ever won this award. Artest is the third Laker to do so. Our guys do alot more off the court helping out with their local communities unlike the green scum. No surprise there admittedly!

That's pretty ignorant thing to say. An insult, really. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are as involved in the community as anyone in the NBA. Pierce still gives back in his hometown of Inglewood, the Lakers' backyard. And KG won it in 2005 when he was with the Wolves. As it is an INDIVIDUAL award, the thing comes with him to Boston as the NBA website clearly shows.

Laker fans are generally very knowledgable, but I see that you are in the shallow end of the talent pool.

Ignorance is bliss!! Keep limiting the paramaters and I'm sure you could make your point......what was your point again?? Oh yeah, NO ONE cares what you post - if that was your point - good job!!Posted by hedleylamarr

I admit I was stunned that Artest won that award. It's a credit to him that he has turned his life around by getting the help he needed. LO has a nice game and is a worthy selection for 6th man.Posted by cshashaty

I agree with you about Ron Artest. It is nice to see him turn his life around and win this award. I have always liked him even though he definitely had his share of problems. Not sure that I think that Lamar Odom deserved the 6th man of the year award. Their are always worthy candidates for this award and sometimes the most deserving player doesn't win.
